THE NEW CURE-ALL.

The national capital is ali agog over
the discovery of new cure-all, or rather
over the discovery Of the discoverer OF
this wonderful medicine. United States
Senators, bankers and the wives OF bank
ers, journalists and their sisters and
their cousins aud their aunts have been
treated for ali the ills that flesh is heir to
and pronounce the doctor the grandest
d1scoverer of the age. Asthma, skin dis
eases, impurities of The blood, govt and
all manner Of diseases have been greatly
benefited or totally cured,
and the old have been. made
to feel young, the infrm whole,
ard the weak strong. Our most aristo-
cratic disease seems to have found sure
cure. 1t should be known that our states
men who est fine dinners and drink fine
wines grow very feshy and rotund; il
should be known, toe, that many
wealthy doWager whose heart is still
fresh and young has been prevented from
forming q happy matrimonial alliance by
an untoward obesity which tastens itself
upon her and bulges cut her choicest
satins in chufy wool sackiness. For
these diseases the cure-aIl is q splendid
medicine. Statesmen grow 1.-the and
supple, and the aforesaid doWegers grow
slender, graceful, srirituelle. 1t is no
longer tentative. A large number of
prominent persons have had their
asthma cured, their blood purified and
their avoirdupois lesseneG. The secret Of
this medicine has never been revealed by
the discoverer, but the manner OF apply
ing it is simple. In the first place the
patient must fovego the pleasure of eat
ing. a little lemon juice now and then
and three teaspoonfuls of the medicine
removes all desire for food and gives the
patient strength to attend to his ordinary
duties. People have tasted from thirty
to ninety days on this medicine and il
the time were restored TO perfect health
and normal proportions. 1t is starving
out the evil spirit of disease The most
wonderful feature of the new discovery is
its capacity for abolishipg necessity for
food. If it is perfected it might be
adopted in military circles where
soldiers could live ninety or hundred
days on pint bottle of the stuff. There
would be no more mule meat or rats de-
voured ia time of siege The PruSsian
soldier with his anaconda of sausage
could in no manner compare to the Amer
lean warrior with his ninety days rations
in pint bottle.

city property would be of no more value
than country property. 1t is because OF
the impossibility of reaching easily dis
tant points that people huddle together in
cities. II Tarrant county had good roads
the attractions which draw citizens 10
central points could soon be found scat
tered all over the country. Fine build
iDgs, elegant residences, beautiful lawns
and all the attractions of city would be
scattered over the country, making it
equal in many respects and superior in
many more to the most attractive por-
tions of cities. We hope that our com
missioners will wisely determine to make
a beginning in the matter OF straight roads
on next Monday. A change must come
sooner or later, and the sooner the better.

Judge Gustave Cook, who is to speak

elimination and recriminGtion, viliflca-
ton and SANDER can only result in &C
tons disgraceful 20 Texas, and no man
who loves the state should forget his
duty to it or his respect for himself so far
as to indulge speech calculated to breed
strife and bring shame to this state and
its people. Texas should add to its re-
nown by its manner of discussing a ques-
ton that elsewhere, and in states claiming
a higher civilization, has produced blood
shed and murder.
